      The case of a 13 month old boy with visc. leish. acquired in
Brittany, a region of France where leishmaniasis is not endemic, is
presented. The mode ofcontamination remains unclear, although a transfusional 
origin through blood transfusions during the neonatal period
appears the most likely.
